I was also pretty outraged at the NDP taking millions in donations from government unions. But that's a topic for another thread. The NDP is in a complete conflict. Yet another reason why I voted Ben instead of the horrible NDP.

Thats pretty shady too. Makes sense for them (unions) to donate towards a party thats not trying to dismantle them though, not saying that specific unions are well run just from a survival perspective it makes sense.
Just more reasons to ban large donations, and donations from groups.
So much of the violent push-back on everything progressive and reformist comes down to: I can see the future, and in this future I am not the centre of the universe and master of all that I survey, therefore this future must be resisted at all costs.

Watched all of the Leg broadcast today and saw nothing, nada, zip from Ben Stewart - no welcome for visitors, no statements presented, no questions asked in QP and no bills presented.
Anyone see proof of his dynamic leadership????

Re: Ben Stewart
^^You would expect a dynamic leader - one who you voted back into an MLA seat to make an impression - to at least show that he was back in the legislature. Didn't even see Wilkinson or any other Liberal party member give him even an acknowledgement. So much for electing someone into the Opposition. Yawn....

Indeed. Also sounds like some of that underestimation Brown was talking about, when he wrote in the Straight:
Not only is Gentle Ben a sweetheart of a guy, he is one of the kindest and most decent, affable, and honourable men I ever had the pleasure to know and work with during my time in B.C. politics.
He’s smart, principled, and easily underestimated, mostly due to his height. Cue Randy Newman’s “Short People”.

Yep, and that's from the Straight. Think I'll take Brown's estimation of the man over the opinions of the bitter and disgruntled posters here.
